Roshown "hey,hey,you,you,get off of" McLeod has been 
named an assistant coach at Fairfield.

Its a bit sad to see a player retire so young due to 
injuries. At least he can say he made it to the NBA and 
did well for awhile. He never appeared in a single game 
for Boston, but I remember reading he could shoot lights 
out during warmups.

Roshown McLeod named assistant at Fairfield 
Fairfield, CT (Sports Network) - Former NBA player 
Roshown McLeod was named an assistant men's basketball 
coach at Fairfield University Thursday. 

"We are very fortunate to add someone like Roshown to our 
coaching staff," head coach Tim O'Toole said. "Roshown is 
an excellent teacher, and has the experience to help each 
and every player on the court." 

McLeod finished his NBA career with Boston, but failed to 
play a game with the Celtics due to a left leg injury 
that eventual cut his playing days short. He was acquired 
by Boston in a trade with Philadelphia prior to the 2001-
02 season. 

McLeod averaged 7.2 points and 2.7 rebounds in 113 games 
over his injury- plagued NBA career. He was originally 
selected by Atlanta in the first round -- 20th overall -- 
of the 1998 NBA Draft out of Duke and spent his first two-
 plus seasons with the Hawks. He was traded to 
Philadelphia along with Dikembe Mutombo in February 2001 
for Theo Ratliff, Toni Kukoc, Nazr Mohammed and Pepe 
Sanchez. 

"I am looking forward to working with the guys, and 
helping them develop as players," McLeod said. "We have a 
lot of talent on this team, and I'm anxious to help this 
team win a lot of games. The staff here at Fairfield has 
certainly helped me make the transition as a coach, and 
made me feel really welcome." 

McLeod played at Duke while O'Toole was an assistant 
coach under Mike Krzyzewski.
